On behalf of the Organizational Committee, we invite you to meet during the First European Congress on Applied Animal Sciences. We will promote research, discussion, debate and dissemination of high quality and relevant animal science findings amongst the scientific communities, the livestock industry, civil society and groups with interests in livestock production. The conference will debate the role that animals play on the wider stage of dietary, environmental and mental health. At venue attendees will be able to get up close to the action, while also being able to seamlessly participate and network with delegates and speakers from across the Europe.
Who should attend?
You should attend the ECAAS 2022 if you are:
• interested or involved in animal science, through industry or academia
• are a veterinarian in the field of herd health promotion, animal reproductive management or assisted reproduction
• work with companion animals or livestock
• are involved in the care, sustainability and utility of animals
• want to be part of the discussion on how animals impact human and planetary health in terms of our current and future well-being and sustainability
We are waiting for you!
